Puppy Pamper-er!

Pet care experience

Hello! I am a student and part time food service worker looking for some extra time with a pooch or three! I am willing to come to you! I know dogs can sometimes be uncomfortable in unknown environments (ie, strangers) so I am willing and open to meeting you and your furry(or scaled) pets. I love all animals, so whether you have one dog, or three dogs and a horse I am open to providing care! I also have some experience with exotics pets such as African Grey birds, and snakes. As for my personal experience, I have worked for dog walking companies in the past and rover, and was raised around animals. For now, I only have a cat but back home I've got 2 cats and 2 dogs! I have spent time volunteering with exotics birds including administering medications, if you're unsure if someone may be willing to care for your pet just ask me!

She has been watching my (many!!) animals for a couple years now, shes always been reliable and everyone seems to love her except the bird who doesn't like anyone... If you're looking for someone who will truly love your pets Nikki is your girl

21 years of experience

Injected medication administration
Senior dog experience
Special needs dog experience
Can provide daily exercise

Information Nikki J. would like to know about your pet

I want to know if they're good with strangers, so if I'm walking the dog I can tell people whether it's okay to come up to the dog or not. Any health problems, allergies, etc. (I can provide care for sick animals) whether they enjoy walking, basically anything that may help me understand your pooch a little better before they spend real time with me! During covid I will not approach or allow others to approach while on walks in public.

A typical day

I like to stay home with a good book to read, but I also like to adventure! A lot of how I care for your animal will, obviously, depend on how the dog usually lives. If you prefer that the pup stays active I will take them on walks, play in the yard with them, or sometimes go to a park. If it's too hot for me to spend much time outside, it's too hot for them! I am cautious about animals being in the heat for too long. I plan on being hands on and off the phone any time I am caring for your animals and will give them as much love as they can take! As for sleeping, the floor, couch, and my bed are all available for puppy snores. Since I would be in your home, all of your rules will be respected! And since we all know it's not really your home, it's the dogs home, I will cater to his needs as well as I can! I can walk, if need be, and am willing to play fetch...I can even bathe and brush.
